Re: Call down?
This is the third example I've read today of someone overplaying a middle pair before the flop.
Did Mason change the hand rankings or something? TT is not a 3-betting hand in most situations. ...

Re: Wierd Scenario
Um, yes.
The weaker suited connectors and gappers are playable in this situation (four random hands, you're in late position, your opponents are playing like idiots). You're taking a preflop...

Re: 10-20 Foxwoods AA hand Saturday night
You have no clue what he has because you didn't think it through.
The vast majority of players 3-bet only with biggish pairs or AK. maybe AQ. If he had JJ he probably would have smooth-called the...

Re: Wierd Scenario
I'd treat it as any "wild game". All pairs, suited connectors down to 65, suited gappers down to 97 or so, AKo, AQo, KTs, Q9s. Everything else go bye-bye. It's strictly value, Dude. Strictly...

Re: A Hand vs. Clarkmeister
You obviously know a lot more about Clark than I do, so my comments make some assumptions about Clark and your poker-table relationship with him that might not be accurate.
Anyway, I think the two...

Re: 20-40 at Hawaiian Gardens
In this sort of game I think you can safely airmail 65o to the muck before the flop. Straight draws suck in games where you're going to take a lot of heat after the flop.
65s would be a different...

Re: Party $15/$30, pocket 9\'s
Hands like these are easier to play if you don't start out by trying to isolate yourself into a heads-up situation where you will almost always be either a small favorite or a big underdog. Just...

Re: What\'s pacific 30/60 like?
The very bad software alone is reason enough not to play there. They also have a history of being very slow with cashouts.

Re: Folding for one bet
When you bet the river, you were betting no one had an ace (or two pair, or set, or even a straight) but that someone would call you with a losing hand. I don't like your chances.
Once you make...

Re: Stud/8 hand - (5s 3s) As
I would have bet every street, including the river, unless someone raises me along the way. No one has a scary board. It's very possible no one has a low. It's very possible I'll get called by a...

Re: game is too loose
In theory such games are beatable but the variance is so high and the hands/hour so low that I personally regard them as a waste of time for the serious player.

Re: 5/10 Stud Hand
I wasn't talking about this hand, but the Ten wasn't the bring-in. Chris Daddy was (9 < 10), and he brought it in for the full bet. I probably would have brought it in for the minimum myself, but I...

Re: 2nd-best trips/implied odds
You're typically no worse than about a 3-to-1 dog to trip sixes here (loosey's hand is all but dead so isn't much of a factor), and often much better than that, depending on who has the livest side...

Re: 7CS: Reese versus SM&Z: Tens and Jacks
You're going to have to post your math, because that's not what I get.
According to my calculations, in an 8-handed 15-30 game, you're getting no worse than 4.1:1 to call the completion.

If you're routinely folding a pair of Nines just because there are a couple of over-cards behind you, I think that you're leaving money on the table in a typical $5/10 game.

Re: 7CS: Reese versus SM&Z: Tens and Jacks
It's usually right to call. The odds are against the overcards having higher pairs. However, there's enough of chance of your being second or (rarely) third-best that you should just call and see...

You should check-call on fourth street. You're a dog to most hands he could have, so you're losing money with every bet you put in the pot.
